Simple Winter Holiday Salad

Simple Salad Made With Kale, Carrots, Pomegranate Arils and Pumpkin Seeds If your holiday table tends to look a bit dull and you want to brighten up the room (and your taste buds) - I highly recommend this simple holiday salad! Turkey, gravy and mashed potatoes are all delicious, but these items can make for a monochrome table and crisp, colorful veggies are often a welcome surprise with all of the typical holiday fare. I love this salad because it's no-cook (so it doesn't ta

Cream-Free Potato Leek Soup

Vegan, Gluten Free Potato Leek Soup This potato leek soup tastes just as hearty as the traditional version, but it doesn't contain heavy cream, butter - or any dairy, for that matter. It also happens to be gluten free, so it's suitable for many dietary needs. Additionally, it's a great option for athletes and active individuals, since it provides necessary carbohydrates (and potassium) from the russet potatoes - both important nutrients needed for recovery from a grueling wor

Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup - Hold the Cream!

Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup (Without the Cream) This soup is my favorite winter soup because it's so cozy and creamy, but it doesn't have the same heavy feeling of many creamy soups. The roasted cauliflower contributes a rich flavor, while also offering vitamin C, vitamin K and fiber, to name a few nutrients. I like to make a large batch on the weekend so that I can enjoy this soup throughout the week with lunch and dinner. What is your favorite soup when it's chilly outs

A Delicious Holiday Side Dish For Many Dietary Needs After this recipe, I promise to take a break from the maple syrup - it is just so good and the perfect addition to any fall dish! My Thanksgiving Day table is definitely going include a few maple recipes! These carrots are simple to make and truly taste decadent. When roasted, carrots naturally taste sweet and the maple syrup amplifies this sweetness. A hint of rosemary balances out the flavor while keeping this dish suitab

Roasted Maple Rosemary Veggies

Roasted Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato and Parsnip with a Maple Rosemary Glaze I am on a bit of a maple syrup kick lately. Something about the sweetness and the fall-flavor make it the perfect complement to vegetables around this time of year. Many times, when I roast sweet potato or butternut squash, I simply add cinnamon and call it a day, since these veggies already have their own sweet taste. However, for Thanksgiving this year, I wanted to create an extra special flavor

Easy Mustard Baked Salmon

This simple baked salmon is a great go-to dish when you're short on time and energy, since it only requires about 30 minutes and just a few ingredients!

Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate Arils and Walnuts

This is probably my favorite dish when the temperature starts to drop and we begin to enjoy the produce that thrives in the cooler weather. Brussels sprouts are a part of the cruciferous veggie group (like cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage) and offer a hearty texture and flavor that I love to balance with the sweetness of pomegranate arils. Also, the walnuts add some crunch and nuttiness to round out this dish. I've been making this side dish for years and it makes frequent a

My Favorite Amazon Finds - From Food to Gadgets

I clearly spend a lot of time in my kitchen. While I always loved to cook, I developed a deeper love for cooking when I started my first blog and started to develop recipes for others. Fast forward, and now I spend even more time in my kitchen as a private practice dietitian with a focus on the nutrition management of GI conditions (read: many of my clients require specialized nutrition protocols). I do this so I can develop recipes that are suitable for various dietary needs

I've been making these simple roasted carrots since college - since they were always an inexpensive, easy and yummy side dish!

5 Ingredient Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Simple, Homemade Peanut Butter Cookies I've been making these cookies for years and I realized recently that I've never shared them with you - and they also happen to be gluten-free, dairy-free and suitable for a low FODMAP diet (so they're pretty much perfect for many different dietary needs). However, the best part is - I initially made this recipe with no dietary restrictions in mind and they taste like a traditional peanut butter cookie! So, whether or not you need to fol

Maple, Vanilla and Pumpkin Spice Pumpkin Seeds

This recipe is a result of a craving I had for something sweet, salty and crunchy and of course, we are at the beginning of pumpkin-everything season. I love pumpkin seeds, because they're delicious, but they're also a plant-based complete protein, meaning pumpkin seeds contain all nine essential amino acids. They're also a source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, iron, and zinc. Most store-bought candied nuts and seeds are loaded with sugar, trans fats and sodium, so

This quick and easy dish is great for busy weeknights, especially if you haven't made it to the store because it relies on frozen and pantry items. Also, if you make extra, you'll have plenty of protein for additional meals later in the week - meaning lower stress lunches and dinners! If you have 20 minutes, you have time to make this simple shrimp recipe (~10 minutes of which is defrosting frozen shrimp, so you've now made this a 10 minute dinner if you planned ahead and def

This simple dish is a staple in my house, since it's so easy to make, requires minimal clean-up (we're talking one pot, one lid, one strainer and one large spoon) and is a great #mealprep item, since it can easily be repurposed and used throughout the week. I like to add it to lunchtime salads for an easy way to round out my meal with carbs (and fiber), or use it as a base for a grain bowl later in the week.
